The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1317 - Major Medical Organization Gives Male 'Breastfeeding' Its Stamp Of Approval

00:00:00.080 Today on the Matt Wall Show, a major medical organization has come out in support of male

00:00:03.600 quote-unquote breastfeeding. If you thought that major medical organizations had already lost

00:00:07.960 all the credibility they possibly could, well, think again. Also, Dr. Phil and Joe Rogan discussed

00:00:12.000 the dangers of gender-affirming care, quote-unquote. A new study shows that the COVID

00:00:16.200 vax was not as safe as they told us, and that is just the tip of the iceberg, of course.

00:00:20.520 And Beyonce has a new country song out. My take on the song

00:00:23.500 might surprise you. All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:41.440 company, Pure Talk. Last summer, I did a monologue on an especially disturbing new phenomenon,

00:01:46.960 which is that some trans-identified males claim that they can breastfeed their children. And at the

00:01:52.900 time, this was not a widespread idea. It didn't have any official support in medicine, which is

00:01:58.840 saying a lot, given that the generacy that the medical establishment now embraces. But at the time,

00:02:04.620 anyway, a few months ago, this was outside of what they would accept. And outside of one cow fetishist

00:02:10.920 on TikTok and two inconclusive reports published in a couple of journals, there was never any real

00:02:16.120 endorsement of this practice. And there was good reason for that, which is that it's a grotesque,

00:02:20.960 dangerous, completely insane, and wrong on every imaginable level. What trans-activists call breast

00:02:28.700 milk is, in fact, a secretion that results from taking a drug called Domperidone, which isn't

00:02:33.840 approved for this purpose in the U.S. or Canada because it can cause cardiac problems in infants.

00:02:38.880 And beyond that, we don't know exactly what chemicals are contained in this secretion,

00:02:42.720 especially when the so-called mother, otherwise known as the father, is often taking cross-sex

00:02:47.300 hormones. And even if you pretend that this secretion is somehow safe, the fact remains

00:02:51.900 that it can't replace a mother's breast milk because men can't produce much of it, even

00:02:56.020 when you pump them full of unapproved, off-label drugs. So, a whole bunch of reasons why the

00:03:00.700 whole thing is completely disgusting and wrong. And that should have been the end of the whole

00:03:03.480 discussion, which is really a discussion that never should have started to begin with,

00:03:06.340 but it wasn't. Instead, in June, the CDC announced that men can breastfeed in certain circumstances,

00:03:14.120 although they conceded that, quote, the nutritional needs of the infant might not be met. The CDC also

00:03:20.060 didn't address the fact that the FDA warns that Domperidone, quote, can pass into breast milk in

00:03:25.100 small amounts and can sometimes give babies an irregular heartbeat as a result. Now, call me crazy,

00:03:31.360 but even putting aside the irregular heartbeat, which is, like, bad enough on its own, I would

00:03:36.460 say that if the nutritional needs of the child aren't met, then that would be reason enough to

00:03:42.700 not do it at all under any circumstance. Now, there are circumstances where this can be okay to do,

00:03:49.240 but the baby's nutritional needs aren't going to be met. That doesn't make any sense.

00:03:54.060 Because the whole point is supposed to be meeting the nutritional needs of the child.

00:03:58.400 But as we'll see, in fact, meeting the needs of the child has nothing to do with this at all.

00:04:04.420 Then, several months later, the National Health Service in Britain went even further. According

00:04:08.480 to a letter from the medical director of the University of Sussex Hospital's NHS Trust,

00:04:13.240 clear and overwhelming evidence, quote, unquote, shows that secretions produced by men are,

00:04:18.000 quote, this is the quote, ideal food for infants. Now, in case you're not familiar with NHS Trust,

00:04:25.400 they're basically divisions of the National Health Service, and they've increasingly been pushing

00:04:30.180 the most extreme aspects of trans ideology, including the lingo and everything else. For

00:04:35.520 example, this Sussex Hospital's Trust was the first British trust to use terms like chest feeding

00:04:41.160 and birthing parents. So that's what we're dealing with here. Now, the Sussex NHS Trust is once again

00:04:48.480 ahead of the curve in terms of promoting a new frontier in trans insanity. The trust medical director

00:04:53.200 states that, quote, the term milk is meant to be neutral and is not gender-based. The evidence

00:04:58.680 which is available demonstrates that the milk is comparable to that produced following the birth

00:05:02.280 of a baby. The letter dismisses complaints about the medication used to induce this, quote,

00:05:07.700 unquote, lactation, saying the medicine is, quote, similar to the natural hormones which encourage

00:05:12.800 lactation. So this is the first instance of a major medical institution declaring that

00:05:19.080 there's no difference whatsoever between male lactation and female breast milk.

00:05:23.980 It's a significant moment, even though by now it's pretty familiar. We are witnessing once again

00:05:28.120 an attempt by alleged experts to normalize a barbaric and perverse practice that directly harms children.

00:05:36.480 And it's catching on. Various trans activists are again claiming that the science is now settled on

00:05:41.760 this point. Yep, men can breastfeed just like women. Everything that humanity has known on this subject

00:05:48.900 since time immemorial. Turns out it was all wrong. It's all false. That's what they're saying anyway.

00:05:56.180 Here's just one example of a trans activist making that claim.

00:05:59.020 Hi, my name's Ash and welcome to LGBTQ plus birth research. Today's video signposts a case study where

00:06:06.580 breast milk produced by a trans woman after she successfully induced lactation was analysed for

00:06:11.060 its nutritional qualities. This study centres a trans woman who successfully breastfed her baby.

00:06:17.360 She induced lactation via hormone therapy, using Dom Peridon as a galactagogue, breast pumping,

00:06:22.440 and then directly breastfeeding her infant. She co-fed with her partner, the baby's gestational

00:06:28.980 parent, meaning the parent who carried the pregnancy, for the infant's first four months of life.

00:06:33.760 The decision to stop breastfeeding was maternal choice. The medical management of how lactation

00:06:39.200 was induced, including medications, dosages and timings, are outlined in the study.

00:06:44.320 For milk analysis, the mother provided four samples of frozen expressed breast milk,

00:06:48.680 and each sample was collected approximately one month apart. All samples were warmed,

00:06:54.240 hand agitated and analysed using a form of infrared spectroscopy. All samples were run twice

00:07:00.160 and a mean result was generated. When compared with average nutritional values of breast milk

00:07:05.980 expressed by cisgender women 10 to 12 weeks after delivery, values that were taken from a large

00:07:11.120 systematic review of milk analysis, these breast milk samples showed nutritional values that were equal

00:07:16.860 to or higher for fat, protein, lactose and calories.

00:07:21.540 Now, when I last talked about this issue, I went into some detail about the document that's referenced

00:07:26.600 in that clip, which is from a UCLA researcher named Amy Weimer. And you see this document cited all the

00:07:33.120 time by trans activists. They claim that it's proof that secretions from men are indistinguishable

00:07:39.200 from breast milk. But one thing that we know, and this is any time, any time, a trans activist cites a study

00:07:47.100 which allegedly proves some totally outlandish thing that, again, contradicts everything humanity has known

00:07:55.580 since the beginning of human civilization. Any time, any time that's the case. Once you look at the study,

00:08:01.760 you'll discover that the study does not even rise to the level of a legitimate scientific study.

00:08:09.000 And that's the case here. So the first thing you have to understand about this document

00:08:11.900 is that it's not a study. It's not peer-reviewed. There's no control group. There's no real analysis

00:08:17.080 of anything. Instead, this is a case report that goes into some detail about one male patient

00:08:23.480 who apparently took Domperidone, this drug, without medical authorization to induce lactation.

00:08:31.420 This case report does not provide any information about whether this practice is safe. It doesn't go

00:08:36.160 into any detail about the effect this has on the child. Were there any effects? What are the side

00:08:43.660 effects? That's not even mentioned. It's not even a concern. They don't talk about it.

00:08:47.560 They don't even talk about what's in the secretions that this person produced.

00:08:53.000 There's no detailed accounting of anything. Instead, the report calls for a future analysis

00:08:58.020 into 24-hour milk samples so researchers can provide a, quote, detailed assessment of macronutrients.

00:09:06.820 So in other words, again, the study is just nothing. It's just nothing. It is a single anecdotal case

00:09:14.200 report of one guy who decided to dose himself with off-label drugs, and then some stuff started

00:09:20.640 coming out of his nipples, and he gave it to his kid. That's it. That's what the whole study is.

00:09:25.020 And trans activists will take that and say, see, it proves it. Proves. Men can breastfeed just like

00:09:29.720 we could. No woman could ever breastfeed again, and men could do all of it, and it would be fine.

00:09:35.340 Based on this one thing they found of this one guy doing something.

00:09:39.740 Now, the second and most important thing to understand about documents like this is that,

00:09:45.280 of course, the people writing them have a vested interest in affirming the delusions of trans-identified

00:09:50.340 patients. Amy Weimer is not a disinterested, impartial observer. Quite the opposite. She goes

00:09:56.760 around giving talks explaining that she's doing everything she can to increase the number of

00:10:00.580 patients at UCLA's gender clinic, which she calls, quote, her baby. So take this footage from three years

00:10:06.760 ago, for example. In this clip, Weimer also brags that children as young as five years old can get

00:10:11.980 treated in her gender health clinic. Watch. What about kids? Do we see kids, and what services are

00:10:18.720 they eligible for? And in our primary care medical home, we see patients of all ages. I think our

00:10:25.940 youngest gender health patient right now is five. And we can, you know, support them with pubertal

00:10:32.640 suppression if and when it's indicated, if and when it's indicated, as well as sort of the pubertal

00:10:36.680 induction hormone management. So we can do hormone management across the age spectrum.

00:10:42.980 Now, in case you couldn't hear what Amy Weimer said, I'll repeat, quote, in our primary care

00:10:47.240 medical home, we see patients of all ages. I think our youngest gender health patient right now is five.

00:10:51.860 And we can support them with pubertal suppression if when it's indicated, as well as sort of pubertal

00:10:56.620 induction hormone management. So we can do hormone management across the age spectrum.

00:11:00.900 Okay, so as young as five. In other words, there's no age limit that Amy Weimer is willing

00:11:06.700 to share. She's happy to take children as young as five years old and convince them that they're

00:11:12.640 in the wrong body. And then apparently not long afterwards, at some point, she's fine with giving

00:11:16.540 them sterilizing hormones and puberty blockers, which can permanently damage these children for

00:11:20.900 the rest of their lives. So this is the caliber of expert that trans activists and medical

00:11:25.080 organizations are now citing. Trans activists are finding doctors who have a clear financial

00:11:29.900 interest in supporting their narrative. And then they're citing these doctors as if they're an

00:11:34.240 impartial source. And they're citing not only that, but they're citing these doctors and using this as

00:11:41.560 evidence to upend everything we know about science. So this has nothing to do with medicine.

00:11:52.100 For doctors, it's about money and ideology. For trans activists, it's about narcissism,

00:11:56.200 which is obviously a very powerful force that guides pretty much everything they do.

00:12:01.100 These are people who don't mind surgically removing the healthy body parts of children

00:12:04.360 or sterilizing them for life. That's not because trans activists have the well-being of these kids

00:12:08.420 in mind, obviously. It's because they see harming children as a way to validate their own delusions

00:12:12.420 and rationalize their own disastrous life choices. So they were never going to give up on the fantasy

00:12:18.680 that men can breastfeed children. Whether it hurts children or not isn't the point. I mean,

00:12:23.040 they don't even cover that in their studies because they don't care. These people demand

00:12:27.820 affirmation above all else. It's why the world exists in their view. Everyone exists just to

00:12:34.280 affirm them. Even their children, even an infant baby exists for this reason and this reason alone.

00:12:40.400 That's obviously the whole reason that they're insisting on this perverse male breastfeeding

00:12:44.760 fantasy. And it's a perverse fantasy, even if it was theoretically possible to one day concoct

00:12:50.720 some kind of wonder drug that would enable men to breastfeed just like women.

00:12:56.500 Okay, no such thing exists right now. Probably no such thing will ever exist. But

00:13:01.060 let's just say in theory that it was possible. Well, in order to get to that theoretical endpoint,

00:13:08.440 it would require years of experimentation. Experimentation on babies specifically.

00:13:13.680 Okay, you would need to keep trying things. Keep dosing these babies with drug-laced male

00:13:19.480 nipple secretions until you finally come up with a cocktail that works. So you're putting babies in

00:13:25.480 danger. You're using them as lab rats, which is what would need to happen in order to have the studies

00:13:30.260 like what's the long-term effect of giving this stuff to babies. Well, how do we know that? The only

00:13:35.240 way to do it to know is to give it to babies and then check back in a year, two years, 10 years,

00:13:40.260 and find out. So they're the lab rats. And all for what? All to solve a problem that is not a problem.

00:13:49.780 All to find a way around biological reality. All to satisfy the urges and desires of these men.

00:13:56.280 And speaking of which, you know, if you're wondering what is the real nature of these desires,

00:14:03.200 like why exactly would any of these men want to do this? Well, we have an answer to that. And it's

00:14:11.060 pretty much confirms what you already suspect. This week, a column written in 2017 by a trans-identified

00:14:15.720 man using the name Dana Fried, F-R-I-E-D, just resurfaced on social media. It went pretty viral. It was

00:14:23.580 published on a website originally called The Stranger. And the title of the piece is My First

00:14:28.640 Time Breastfeeding My Daughter. Okay, and here's how it begins. I'm going to read this to you.

00:14:32.780 When my baby attached to my breast, there was an incredible chemical cascade that ran through

00:14:38.940 my entire body like lightning. Imagine the most electric thing a partner has ever done to you,

00:14:44.780 then multiply it by 10. I could feel my brain rewiring, creating pathways that would permanently

00:14:50.200 connect me to my child. And yeah, I kind of got off on it. Don't judge. That's what he wrote.

00:14:58.000 So this was a man, quote unquote, breastfeeding his child, comparing it to a sexual act with his

00:15:04.080 partner and saying that he got off on it. So this is a man confessing right out in the open that he

00:15:10.640 derived sexual pleasure from feeding a child and artificially induced secretion coming from his

00:15:15.640 chest. That's what he said. That's just like out in the open. What you'll find very often with these

00:15:20.220 people is like, if you listen to them talk, they'll just come right out and say it.

00:15:23.680 And so this constitutes, among other things, obviously, the sexual abuse of an infant.

00:15:29.700 That's not even getting into the chemicals that are probably contained in the secretion.

00:15:33.120 But of course, because sexualizing children is the goal of the trans call, this column was

00:15:38.040 well-received at the time when it was published in the trans community. For example,

00:15:42.500 the top comment on this article on the trans subreddit reads,

00:15:45.380 this tale gives me hope and majorly inflames my baby itch. Another comment reads, brought tears to

00:15:52.900 my eyes. Such a profound and moving post. That's really powerful stuff on the power of the trans

00:15:57.880 experience. Amazing. You are simply inspiring. This again is a man directly confessing that he got a

00:16:08.260 sexual, that he was using a baby for sexual gratification. And his other trans activists

00:16:14.360 on Reddit are calling it inspiring. So think about that for a second. Now, the website Redux has

00:16:20.420 publicly identified the man who wrote this column as a Google employee. Redux tells me that they're

00:16:25.120 confident it's the same guy for several reasons. For one thing, in the article, Fryde says he moved to

00:16:29.520 Seattle after working in Virginia. It's the same work history that a longtime Google employee using the

00:16:33.940 same name lists on his Crunch-based profile. Additionally, the illustration of Fryde and the stranger,

00:16:38.040 which has since been taken down, looks a lot like the Google employee. And on social media,

00:16:43.640 the Google employee spends a lot of time writing about being a trans-identified mother,

00:16:47.360 quote unquote, to a young child. He's also, as you'd expect, very angry much of the time.

00:16:52.660 So what's so disturbing about all this is that, I mean, of the many things that are disturbing about

00:16:58.060 it, is that this article from Dana Fryde came out seven years ago. And yet, as far as I can tell,

00:17:04.000 other than Redux, no one has bothered to look into this guy at all.

00:17:08.040 The person who wrote that article on The Stranger has confessed to the sexual abuse of a child

00:17:12.820 seven years ago. He's admitted to one of the most despicable and grotesque crimes a human can commit.

00:17:19.840 And he hasn't been held accountable at all for it. Redux first identified him as a Google employee

00:17:25.040 nearly a year ago. And Google never responded to that accusation. You'd have to imagine that if a

00:17:31.480 publication publicly accused a Google employee of writing, I don't know, some naughty tweets about

00:17:36.520 George Floyd, then Google would certainly terminate that employee immediately. But in this case,

00:17:42.200 when one of their employees is accused of deriving, not accused, has confessed deriving sexual

00:17:47.860 gratification from feeding an artificial secretion to a child, they don't care. In fact, other than

00:17:52.560 Redux, no one seems to care at all. This puts the endorsement from the NHS in Britain in a new,

00:17:58.240 even more disturbing light. Because what's happening, in effect, is that major medical

00:18:04.400 organizations, including the CDC and the NHS, are giving men the green light to use infants for

00:18:09.160 sexual pleasure. And they're doing it because they think they can get away with it. They're dropping

00:18:14.300 the pretense of gender-affirming care entirely, basically. They're not even pretending to care

00:18:19.580 about children anymore. Instead, they're directly endorsing child abuse and pedophilia,

00:18:23.500 which is what this is. And this was always where the trans cult was going to lead.

00:18:30.780 So the moment it's been building towards for years. And now, without any medical basis,

00:18:36.940 but with the full endorsement of the medical establishment, that moment is here.

00:18:42.400 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:18:44.000 We're experiencing a lot of global instability in the new year. North Korea is testing missiles.

00:18:53.960 Iran is growing increasingly aggressive. And oh, by the way, we have a presidential election

00:18:57.700 coming up in November, if you haven't heard. So how do you protect your family in the midst

00:20:52.620 little bit of this. This is an excellent exchange between Dr. Phil and Joe Rogan, as Dr. Phil was

00:20:58.120 appearing on Joe Rogan's podcast, I believe, yesterday. And at one point, they started talking about

00:21:03.600 transgenderism and the so-called gender-affirming care racket. And it was a great conversation. It

00:21:10.980 goes on for, you know, 10 minutes. It's worth, you can go online and find the clip. But here's just a

00:21:16.960 little bit of that exchange. Watch. It's interesting they choose words like gender-affirming care.

00:21:23.820 You know, that's interesting that they call it that, but really what they're talking about is

00:21:30.340 hormonal therapy or sex reassignment surgery on children. And in fairness, the American Medical

00:21:38.120 Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Endocrine Society, or whatever the

00:21:43.780 exact name of that is, all of the major medical associations have signed off on this, Joe.

00:21:48.780 They've signed off on it. And I have never seen those organizations sign off on anything with less

00:21:55.180 information as to whether or not it does long-term harm of anything in my life. And when I ask about

00:22:02.000 that, when I bring that up, then they immediately label you as transphobic. And I thought that the

00:22:09.640 deal was first do no harm. And all of the European countries, you know, Sweden, Norway, they've all

00:22:15.760 stopped doing it because they say, we cannot say in good conscience that this does no harm,

00:22:21.580 because it does harm. If you look at the long-term consequences, if someone changes their mind

00:22:28.100 at 10, 11, 12, 13 years old, they can't decide which pajamas they want to wear at night. And their

00:22:36.160 reason for doing it is it stops this drive for suicide, that there's a suicide epidemic.

00:22:42.760 It doesn't fix that. It doesn't fix all the comorbid issues that come along with feeling like they're in

00:22:50.920 the wrong body. But yet they're pushing this. And it's, we're going to do some shows that are

00:22:58.900 already taped that are revealing what the real results of this are. And I think people are going

00:23:05.400 to be shocked that these medical organizations have signed off on this. I think they've just

00:23:09.800 given in to the pressure.

00:23:13.320 So as I said, the discussion goes on for several more minutes. Doesn't surprise me to hear this from

00:23:17.620 Dr. Phil. And, you know, he's one of the sane ones when it comes to this issue and many other issues,

00:23:21.960 in fact. But I think a conversation like this also represents, or again, indicates the impending death

00:23:28.580 of the child gender affirming care scam. You know, it's still happening. So it's still a major problem.

00:23:36.940 We have to fight back against it. It's not that we can, you know, wipe our hands clean of it and say

00:23:44.240 we're done with it. But its days are numbered. We are winning this fight. We will ultimately prevail.

00:23:49.420 I think that that's, you know, I hesitate to use the term, but it feels rather inevitable.

00:23:55.460 And the reason is that the quote unquote transitioning of children is one of those unique

00:24:01.720 sorts of human evils that is so depraved and so deranged and so totally, utterly indefensible

00:24:08.520 that it's just unsustainable. It can't, it cannot continue. It's, it's, it is an evil

00:24:15.520 at that level where it just can't, it cannot continue indefinitely. Once people start speaking

00:24:21.120 up against it and fighting back, it collapse, collapses. And it has to. And this is something

00:24:27.260 that could only ever happen. The only reason that this, all this stuff happened in the first

00:24:32.160 place with the trans agenda and, and, and especially what it's been doing to kids could

00:24:38.900 only ever happen because people didn't realize it was happening and, or were too afraid to

00:24:45.900 say anything about it. So it requires ignorance and fear in order to continue. And that's the

00:24:53.300 point. This kind of abuse survives and spreads only in an atmosphere of ignorance and fear, which

00:25:01.240 is, which is unlike some other bad things that, um, can happen because people actually actively

00:25:07.040 support them. So take even something like abortion, for example, that is a hideous, terrible evil.

00:25:12.340 Uh, and, and, um, I mean, it's the mass murder of children. It's as bad as it gets. And there's a lot

00:25:18.700 of ignorance and fear driving that as well, obviously, but people do support it. So millions of

00:25:24.900 people, sadly, do actively support abortion. It's something that they actively support and will

00:25:31.100 defend and they won't defend it. Well, cause you can't defend it. Well, their, their arguments make

00:25:35.600 no sense, but they will defend it. And, and they do believe, they do believe that this should be

00:25:40.380 legal. We support it. And this is what makes it so difficult to fully stop. It's why we'll probably

00:25:46.360 never fully stop, um, abortion, you know, which even if you make it illegal, it's still, it's, it's,

00:25:54.800 it's, it's, it's the kind of evil that, that persists, uh, which doesn't mean that you don't

00:26:00.260 make it illegal. It's just like any other, you know, murder. It's all the other, all the illegal

00:26:04.300 forms of murders. People still murder people. Even if it's illegal, it doesn't mean that you make

00:26:08.280 illegal. Um, but the gender transition of minors, that's different because it's something that almost

00:26:18.260 nobody really supports. Um, almost nobody thinks that it's truly a good idea. Even the hardcore

00:26:25.080 activists, the zealots, okay, even they don't really believe what they're saying. They don't

00:26:31.400 believe their own arguments because how could you? The whole thing is so insane, so unjustifiable and

00:26:36.300 inexcusable. And it's just, it's incoherent. It doesn't, you can't believe it even if you wanted to.

00:26:41.840 The whole position is, is, uh, when you get below the surface, you don't have to go that deep below

00:26:47.620 the surface, you find this total sea of incoherence. So there's no way to look at it and say, oh yeah,

00:26:54.680 I believe that. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. A boy is really a girl. You should, no one believes

00:26:59.560 it. Um, it's just not possible to reach a critical mass of people who really support it. You can only

00:27:05.700 reach a critical mass of ignorance and fear, which is what they achieved. The trans activists did

00:27:11.260 up until recently, up until the last few years. And the problem for the trans activists is that the

00:27:16.800 ignorance is almost entirely gone now. Okay. So the ignorance is almost completely gone.

00:27:21.260 People know this is happening. They're aware of it. They're talking about it. So it's not,

00:27:24.980 you don't have that anymore. You know, it's not like it was two years ago, three years ago. It's

00:27:28.680 not like it was when we were making, what is a woman? We're out doing the man on the street

00:27:31.840 interviews and talking to people about it. And we're encountering people that, that, that,

00:27:35.240 and this is only even just a few years ago, but we're encountering people that really

00:27:39.060 like, they don't even believe that this is a thing. So what are you talking about?

00:27:43.280 Transitioning? They don't, they don't give those drugs to kids. What are you talking about?

00:27:46.800 Well, now everybody knows. So ignorance is gone. All they have now, so, so now that the ignorance

00:27:52.680 is gone, you can't, people know, and you can't make them not know what they know. And so all you

00:27:57.800 have left is fear. Well, they know it. Nobody believes in this. No one believes it's right.

00:28:02.760 No one thinks it's actually right to give quote unquote puberty blockers to a 10 year old.

00:28:05.900 No one thinks that. And they know that it's happening. And so what can you do now? Well,

00:28:13.400 the only thing you could do is fear. Now it's like, okay, you know that it's happening. You

00:28:17.440 don't agree with it because nobody does, but shut your mouth. Uh, because if you say anything about

00:28:22.020 it, we're going to, but the fear is going away too. Um, the, the, you know, even the fear, people

00:28:28.280 are not nearly as afraid to speak up against the trans call as they were just a couple of years ago.

00:28:33.920 And when you've got conversations like this between guys like Joe Rogan and, uh, Dr. Phil,

00:28:39.780 he's obviously hugely famous mainstream cultural icons that are having a in-depth 10 minute

00:28:49.140 conversation about, it goes on for longer than 10 minutes, um, not pulling any punches at all.

00:28:53.780 Just being very matter of fact, like, yeah, of course this is crazy. You can't do this.

00:28:57.520 And when, when you get to that point, it's just, it's hard to make people afraid anymore.

00:29:00.780 You know, when you could turn on, uh, you know, Spotify and listen to Joe Rogan and Dr. Phil talk

00:29:06.440 about it. It's just not, it's, it's not taboo anymore. It used to be taboo to be opposed to the

00:29:14.760 trans, to the trans agenda. And it's not now it's not. Um, and so the trans actors, that's why they're

00:29:21.920 so panicked now because they don't have the fear really to the extent that they did. They don't have

00:29:27.600 the ignorance at all. And of course, no one's actually on their side intellectually because

00:29:32.640 it's completely insane. And everything they say is insane and stupid and wrong and incoherent,

00:29:36.980 everything. So that's, um, that's what they're dealing with. And that's why they will, they are

00:29:44.780 losing and they will lose. And, uh, we, you know, I, I'm not predicting any sort of utopian

00:29:50.160 future at all. Okay. There's a lot of things in our culture that, uh, unfortunately are not going

00:29:55.520 to get better or not certainly a, not in the short run, but you know, 10 years from now,

00:30:00.260 let's say, or even five years, certainly 10 years from now, uh, I don't maybe with the exception of

00:30:07.940 somewhere like California, you're, you're not going to find people doing this to kids anymore.

00:30:13.440 And I would even predict that the trans identification in general is going to, you know,

00:30:19.120 it's, it's, if it hasn't reached its peak, I think that it's getting close to it and then it's

00:30:24.640 going to start declining again. Um, and this, uh, and, and, and ultimately this will be looked back

00:30:30.560 on as a moment of mass psychosis. Uh, you know, this is, this is really what we've been living

00:30:35.920 through as a moment of mass psychosis and, um, and a mass psychosis again is not, can,

00:30:41.820 cannot continue indefinitely. Like eventually people just snap out of it and then it's done.

00:30:47.620 Um, all right. Daily Wire has this report. A global study that looked at medical issues among

00:30:54.840 nearly a hundred million people who received the COVID vaccine found a higher than expected increase

00:30:58.960 in neurological and heart related problems following the shot. The global vaccine data

00:31:03.680 networks COVID vaccine safety study, which was the largest safety research conducted on COVID

00:31:07.320 vaccines to date found a higher risk of myocarditis than was expected from the mRNA vaccines

00:31:12.100 made by Pfizer, biotech and, um, and Moderna. Uh, the study also found an increased risk of a type

00:31:19.040 of blood clot in the brain and people who received viral vector vaccines. Researchers also found a

00:31:24.200 significant increase in, uh, Guillain-Barre syndrome, which I'm sure I'm mispronouncing. And then the first

00:31:31.920 42 days of initial AstraZeneca vaccine. Okay. Now this is obviously just the tip of the iceberg.

00:31:37.480 You know, we're, we're seeing now only the very beginning of what many people warned about and

00:31:42.380 predicted, but I think the, the bigger issue, the greater catastrophe here, even aside from the

00:31:47.860 medical issues, which are significant, obviously in their own right, but the greater crisis as we've

00:31:54.680 talked about, um, is, and this loops in with everything we've talked about on the show today is

00:32:00.600 that this is another reason for people to lose their trust in the medical profession. Okay. Well now,

00:32:06.460 now we've got studies finally coming out that are being even reported in, in corporate media

00:32:11.480 where they're starting to admit, uh, yeah, you know what, this is, uh, maybe a little bit

00:32:17.200 worse than we thought. And again, tip of the iceberg a few months from now, it's going to be,

00:32:23.580 Oh, this is significantly worse than we thought. And then on and on. But, um,

00:32:28.200 it is yet another reason for people to lose their trust in the medical profession.

00:32:32.840 And if you look at what's just look at what's happened over the past five years alone,

00:32:37.100 and this is something you could trace back certainly far, far before five years ago, but

00:32:41.820 you know, you had everything that happened around COVID, all of the random arbitrary guidelines

00:32:47.080 invented by our so-called public health authorities, uh, and then, and then the masking and the social

00:32:52.220 distancing and lockdowns and everything. Then you had the vaccine, which was pushed on the public with,

00:32:56.300 with, with, while, while any conversation about the side effects was censored and disallowed and

00:33:01.620 everything. And at the same time, while this was playing out, there was also the explosion of the

00:33:07.380 gender, quote unquote, gender affirming care for children in, in particular, um, as we've been

00:33:13.740 talking about. So all this is happening over the course of the past five years or so. And as a result,

00:33:20.960 in just five years, the medical field has gone from something widely trusted and respected by the

00:33:28.020 public. And I haven't looked at any poll. I don't, I don't know if they did any survey and say 2017

00:33:33.600 of, uh, to see the general trust people have and faith they have in the medical establishment,

00:33:38.760 but I'm sure they've done surveys like that. And you can go look and check me on this, but I'm pretty,

00:33:44.820 I I'm willing to bet that, uh, the numbers were a lot higher, you know, five, six, seven years ago

00:33:50.740 than they are now. And so up until about five years ago, trust was, was high. People generally

00:33:59.820 said, well, you know, we trust doctors. Doctors are, when it comes to medical issues, you know,

00:34:05.420 this is what doctors are for and you trust your doctor. And, um, and now it's, that's not the case

00:34:11.280 anymore. Now it's something that people are deeply suspicious of and for good reason. And this is a

00:34:16.960 major, major problem. It's a problem the medical field has created for itself, but it also becomes

00:34:24.100 a problem for society. I've used the analogy before of, uh, of architects, uh, say, uh, bridge

00:34:30.600 builders, you know, and you gotta think, well, what kind of country would we live in if bridges started

00:34:36.640 crumbling all over the place, which they sort of are actually, because our infrastructure is not the

00:34:40.840 greatest, but let's just say that major bridges started falling, you know, and, and with people on

00:34:46.640 them, people were dying as an epidemic. And then as a result of that, well, nobody trusts bridges

00:34:52.400 anymore. Nobody wants to cross a bridge. And, and it's like the, say the public approval rating for

00:34:58.760 the, uh, bridge building industry reaches congressional levels. Well, what then? I mean, you can't blame

00:35:06.020 people for not trusting the bridges. They shouldn't obviously, but how do we function? Like, how do we

00:35:12.080 function as a society when people are too afraid to, uh, cross a bridge? How do you live in a, in a

00:35:17.660 large, highly populated first world country where people don't trust this basic infrastructure?

00:35:24.920 Um, it's chaos. You can't. And it's like that with medicine. These people have, uh, lied to us.

00:35:32.340 They've pushed things on us that are not just unnecessary, but are actively harmful to our health.

00:35:37.580 They've made wild, wild claims that are, have no basis in reality at all. And those claims have

00:35:49.460 gotten the endorsement of, as Dr. Phil said in the last, uh, headline gotten the endorsement of every

00:35:56.660 major medical organization. And this has all been happening recently and we've seen it. Um, and these

00:36:05.600 people, they've done, they've done, they've done horrible things to children in the name of medicine,

00:36:10.720 in the name of science, they've ruined the lives of so many children, the most vulnerable among us

00:36:16.000 and on and on. So now where do we go? You know, now that we look at the medical field and we say,

00:36:22.520 I can't trust these people. I can't trust them. Like maybe you take any individual doctor,

00:36:29.180 might be a good doctor, might be someone I can trust. It's quite pot. It's possible.

00:36:32.820 But just the simple fact of being a doctor doesn't really mean anything to me anymore.

00:36:39.740 Oh, you say you're a doctor. Okay. Well, are you the kind of doctor who would tell me that,

00:36:44.500 you know, uh, it's okay to sterilize a child, a little boy, cause he's really a girl.

00:36:50.460 Were you the kind of doctor who said that magically, if you stand six feet apart from someone that you're

00:36:55.440 not going to get a virus? Or were you the doctor telling people to wear muzzles on their faces for

00:36:59.780 a year, year and a half? Were you one of the doctors that said, don't gather in large crowds

00:37:06.640 because it's dangerous unless you're in BLM, in which case the virus won't affect you. Are you that

00:37:11.120 kind of doctor? You know, cause if you are, I don't, I don't trust anything you say. I don't,

00:37:15.880 like you, you just have, you have no integrity. Uh, you either have no understanding of basic

00:37:20.920 science and you're a moron or you pretend that you don't. And you're that, you're that dishonest

00:37:26.060 and evil. And so like, but either way, I can't, I can't trust you. Um, or are you one of the

00:37:31.160 doctors who was not on board with all that stuff? Well, you know, now I need to know that. And,

00:37:34.480 but a lot of times I don't know that I can't know that. Um, and, and also if you're one of the

00:37:40.580 sane doctors, one of the good doctors, you might not even want to say that publicly because of the

00:37:45.320 pressure that you're getting from all these medical organizations. So it's just a big, it's a huge

00:37:48.760 mess. And that's how you end up with this, this crisis of, uh, of trust that is, uh, I call a

00:37:56.800 crisis for a reason. There's, I'm not, it's hard to know where it goes because I don't think we've

00:38:06.600 ever quite experienced this as a society before the medical, for as long as there's been modern

00:38:13.080 medicine. Uh, the medical field has always been widely respected. And it's just been one of those

00:38:18.360 things, especially in the United States of America that we've all kind of, you know, we just sort of,

00:38:23.620 you don't, hopefully don't take it as gospel. These people aren't gods, but you think, okay,

00:38:27.200 well, this is basically trustworthy people. Um, and that's how it's always been until now. So

00:38:32.720 what does society look like when that basic trust is not there anymore? I guess we're going to find

00:38:38.820 out. All right, moving to this, uh, we have some controversy, uh, some racism allegedly,

00:38:45.760 and this is the worst kind of racism imaginable. It's the racism, really racism in its most bigoted,

00:38:51.460 most vicious form because it is the racism of criticizing, uh, Beyonce, the singer, and as opposed

00:39:02.080 to any other Beyonce I might be talking about. And we all know that if you criticize Beyonce,

00:39:05.840 then you're racist automatically. We've learned that I've learned that I've been told that I've

00:39:11.180 criticized her plenty of times, uh, because she's not a very good singer and all of her songs are

00:39:15.920 terrible. Uh, but I, and anytime I, anytime I say that I'm said, I'm told, well, you're racist for

00:39:20.900 that. You have to, you have to like Beyonce, just one of those requirements to be not racist.

00:39:25.500 Well, uh, someone has violated that rule and now they've got the internet mob coming after him.

00:39:30.440 This is from Yahoo. Actor John Schneider has garnered the ire of the Bayhive

00:39:34.020 after comparing Beyonce to a dog, marking her territory for her recent venture into country

00:39:39.940 music. Several fans slammed him as racist and hateful and commented that the singer does not

00:39:45.480 need his permission to create country music. Um, social media users said, uh, Beyonce can do

00:39:52.660 whatever the F she wants to do. She doesn't need your permission. Uh, did John Schneider just compare

00:39:58.640 Beyonce to a dog. So Beyonce singing country music makes her a dog. What the F? And then,

00:40:04.180 okay, that's all. They're all basically all the same, uh, calling him a racist right-wing extremist.

00:40:08.880 Anyway, here's, here's John Schneider. The, the, I guess, I don't know who he is. I guess he's an

00:40:12.080 actor. And, uh, here he is making this comment about Beyonce's foray into country music.

00:40:18.120 The lefties in the entertainment industry just won't leave any area alone, right? They just have to

00:40:23.560 seize control over every aspect, don't they? They've got to, uh, they've got to make their

00:40:28.560 mark just like a dog in a, uh, in a dog walk park. You know, every dog has to mark

00:40:33.180 every tree, right? So that's what's going on here. Uh, Shania and the other folks you talked

00:40:39.320 about, what they did is they, they were in country music and they went out, you know,

00:40:43.740 and that's one thing, but people coming into country music have a, uh, cause I know a little

00:40:47.800 something about country music. Okay. Um, so there's the supposedly racist remark, which

00:40:52.940 of course is not racist at all. Don't be ridiculous. Um, she, you know, you're allowed

00:40:58.000 to not like Beyonce. Now I think the criticism is kind of stupid on the face complaining about

00:41:02.680 the lefties invading our space just because Beyonce made a country song is, um, sort of

00:41:10.240 dumb mainly because there are already a ton of leftists making country music. Country music

00:41:15.840 is not some kind of conservative bastion. Uh, it's not now there are conservative country

00:41:21.520 stars, but it's, I, will they even call them the majority at this point? And, um, and you

00:41:27.680 know, so a lot of country music is made by liberals and a lot of it is quite, it's already quite

00:41:32.340 terrible. Um, quite a lot of it. If you go, if you still are one of the five people listens

00:41:36.900 to the radios, let's say, and you turn on a country station anywhere in the country, you

00:41:42.860 know, like 90% of what comes on is going to be really bad. Um, so it's not like she's

00:41:47.960 desecrating some sacred thing. You know, it's country music. Some of it is good. Plenty

00:41:53.320 of it is bad, but you know, it's not racist to criticize it as for the song itself. Um,

00:41:58.940 I had not heard about this Beyonce country crossover thing. I didn't know that was happening.

00:42:04.720 Apparently it was announced during the Superbowl. I watched the Superbowl and I didn't even,

00:42:07.780 I, I, I guess I, Beyonce came on the screen and I, my eyes glazed over and I didn't pay

00:42:13.340 attention. Um, so I don't have high hopes for it, I must admit. But if you also hadn't

00:42:18.880 heard about this and you're wondering what the song sounds like, I will play a little

00:42:22.120 clip of it. Here is Beyonce's country song, which is called, what's it called? Uh, Texas

00:42:27.720 hold them. Go ahead. This ain't Texas ain't no hold them. Hey, they are cards down, down,

00:42:49.480 down, down, down. So park your Lexus and throw your keys up. Hey, stick around, round, round,

00:42:58.220 round, round, round. Stick around. And I'll be damned if I can't slow dance with you. Come

00:43:03.180 close some sugar on me, honey, too. It's a real live boogie and a real live hold down. Don't

00:43:07.860 be a b****. Come take it to the floor now. There's a tornado in my city. Um, I don't hate

00:43:18.080 it. I'm like, I'm, I wanted it. I thought I was gonna make fun of it. I don't, I don't

00:43:23.800 hate it. Why don't I hate it? I should hate it. I should hate it. But I, but I don't. Like

00:43:30.480 it is, it's catchy. Isn't it? Can we just admit that? Can we admit that it's catchy? Can

00:43:34.160 we be, can we be adults about it? Okay. Don't blame me for saying what you, it's catchy. Uh,

00:43:39.160 so what do you want me to say to you? It's a catchy song and it's got a banjo and I don't

00:43:45.060 know if there's a harmonica, but if she, if she throws a harmonica into the song

00:43:47.840 later, then I, I've said before, there's, there's a certain formula to music and I'm

00:43:53.500 not a musician, but, uh, and one of those is if you put a banjo and a harmonica in a

00:43:57.700 song, it's automatically at least okay. Like it's automatically listenable with those two

00:44:02.560 instruments. She's got one of them. I don't know about the second one. And, uh, and so,

00:44:08.100 you know, and it's, there's real instruments being played. I mean, she's not playing them.

00:44:11.800 Obviously we can assume she didn't write the song. She's not playing the instruments, but it is

00:44:16.640 real music. It's a, it's actual music. We can say that. So, you know, I kind of like

00:44:22.820 it. I just, I do deal with it. I said, I like a Beyonce song. It's, it, it's, it's the first

00:44:29.980 decent song she's ever made. You know, is what I'll say. It's the first song she's made that's

00:44:35.680 actually a song and, uh, which is interesting. So, but I don't know, I don't know who I am

00:44:41.940 anymore. I don't know what's happening to me. I'm defending Taylor Swift. Uh, I'm a member of

00:44:46.220 the Bay Hive now. I'm in the Bay Hive. I'm a Swifty. I'm a Bay Hive member. Um, and I'm,

00:44:53.200 this is the twist. No one's all coming is that you've got the Swifties in the Bay Hive that are,

00:44:57.480 it's a civil war. It's been raging for years and, and everyone's wondered who is the chosen one

00:45:02.480 who is going to bring these two, uh, the, the, these, these two nations together, you know, and,

00:45:09.160 um, and nobody thought that it would be me, but I am the one who is going to bring the Bay Hive

00:45:17.280 and the Swifties together. Uh, it's a crazy world. It's a crazy world we live in. All right,

00:46:40.740 Okay, we have some comments. Yesterday we talked about the drama of the divorced dad and the

00:46:47.300 daughter who are having a feud via viral videos on Twitter and TikTok. And some people disagreed with

00:46:55.060 my general take on that. Not surprisingly. First comment says, it's possible even extremely likely

00:47:00.460 that the mother convinced her that he was a horrible person. Divorced mothers seem to do this

00:47:05.160 quite often. They vent to their children like their miniature therapist and it destroys the child's

00:47:09.140 view of the father. It's reckless, childish, and indicative of a bitter heart. Now the comment agrees,

00:47:13.600 I think it's quite common for the estranged woman to poison the minds of the children of divorce and

00:47:17.440 their care. It's sad because a lot of these dads whose reputations and memories have been

00:47:21.780 character assassinated by the scorned, now single mom, would more than willingly have a loving and

00:47:26.920 caring relationship with their children but are prohibited from doing so by the mother.

00:47:31.360 Bonnie Doon says, I'm with dad on this one. Silver Spooner being fed lies by her angry divorced mother

00:47:37.140 throwing her father onto the bus all while getting $5 million in the divorce. Okay.

00:47:43.600 First of all, again, the money is irrelevant. It's just not, it's not, you're required to,

00:47:48.740 you know, when the judge says you have to pay a certain amount of money in divorce,

00:47:51.800 it, whether it's justified or unjustified, whatever, it's not, it's not, it's not a substitute

00:47:58.060 for being a father and it's not like, you don't get credit for that. You had to do it.

00:48:03.380 So I think there are plenty of times when there's payments that are required, especially with

00:48:08.260 alimony that where it's incredibly unjust and, and all of that. But, you know, the idea that

00:48:14.560 it's just, it's irrelevant to this because the question is whether the, the, the child is not a

00:48:21.520 child now, but whether the, the daughter, you know, whether her perspective on this is, is justified,

00:48:27.340 you know, the resentment she feels to the dad, whether that's justified. And the fact that there

00:48:32.600 was $5 million is completely irrelevant to that. It doesn't mean anything. I know that if I were,

00:48:40.060 if I were to decide to leave my family and my kids, I would not be able to say to my kids,

00:48:45.840 you know, it's okay. Here's 5 million bucks. You'll be fine. To the kid, that's not going to

00:48:50.440 mean anything. Understand that? I could give my kids a billion dollars. I can say, I'm leaving.

00:48:55.360 Here's a billion dollars. And the billion dollars may as well be a penny. It doesn't mean anything to

00:49:01.260 them because they don't want the money. They want me and my presence. They want a dad is what they

00:49:05.560 want. The money does not mean anything. So it's just not relevant to this. Um, and yes, it's true

00:49:14.480 that mothers can poison kids against their fathers. It's true that families can break up. Men can end

00:49:19.040 up divorced because the mother causes it. The mother forces it. Uh, all that is true. And yeah,

00:49:25.200 when I talked about this yesterday, I, um, uh, I acknowledge that the problem is that there are

00:49:31.640 some people, including in these comments here who apparently refuse to acknowledge that the man

00:49:37.520 can ever be to blame. See, that's what I run into. Anytime I try to talk about divorce, um, marriage,

00:49:45.200 if, if I discuss the man's role at all, I get these angry comments. So is that your, it's like,

00:49:53.040 we can't talk about it at all. It's, is it never the man's fault? Is that where we are now?

00:49:57.760 Now, what I try to do is I, I talk about both. When I talk about relationships, I talk about the

00:50:01.920 woman's role, the man's role. Um, there are times when I give them men a hard time for certain

00:50:08.120 aspects. There are times when I give the woman a hard time. In fact, in the daily cancellation,

00:50:11.800 we're about to talk about next, we're gonna be talking about relationships again. And in that case,

00:50:16.040 I'm going to be focused on a woman in this case, who's doing, who's, who's the wrong one.

00:50:20.140 So I, I kind of do both, you know, um, I don't think anyone who watches the show knows that,

00:50:24.840 but there are, what we have though, are, you know, you have feminists on one side and then

00:50:31.260 you've got, um, whatever, you know, whatever label you want to put red pill, whatever on the other

00:50:36.440 side who have just, they've taken their battle stations and in their world, their team is just

00:50:44.080 never wrong ever in these kinds of situations, which is a ridiculous cartoonish,

00:50:49.780 view of life that has, that has no bearing on reality. Okay. Um, it's, it's, we cannot pretend

00:50:59.960 that every divorced dad is a deadbeat narcissist. Correct. We cannot pretend that that's a wrong

00:51:06.160 thing to claim. Fortunately, I'm not claiming that and have never claimed anything even approaching

00:51:12.280 that. But on the other hand, we also can't claim that deadbeat, narcissistic, lazy, good for

00:51:17.180 nothing dads don't exist. Like, are we pretending that that category of man doesn't even exist in

00:51:22.800 the world? Of course it does. And I think for all the reasons we talked about yesterday,

00:51:28.360 there's a lot of very good evidence that in the case we talked about yesterday, uh, the man in that

00:51:34.860 case falls into that category is a deadbeat, narcissistic dad who just even now at the age of

00:51:40.980 60, whatever, like doesn't understand that simple things like you cannot replace fatherhood with

00:51:47.080 money and then that sort of thing. Um, and apparently knows like almost nothing about his

00:51:52.940 own kids who are now grown and like you're the mom can't keep you from them now. Um, so we should be

00:51:59.620 able to talk about that too. And we need to stop talking about men like they're just helpless damsels

00:52:05.940 in distress and nothing is their fault and nothing that happens in their families is their fault.

00:52:13.620 Okay. That we can't do that either. So blaming men for everything is wrong. Blaming them for nothing

00:52:20.000 is also wrong. These are, I would say, equally absurd, uh, errors to make. And, but if you want to

00:52:31.060 err on one side or the other, I think it's just, it's, I always prefer to err on the side of empowering

00:52:35.840 people, of, of giving them agency, you know, which means I would rather err on the side of giving you

00:52:42.220 more blame than you deserve than, than, than less of the blame than you deserve. If you got to err on

00:52:46.780 one side or the other in my own life, I would rather people err on blaming me for things that

00:52:52.720 are not my fault than for making me into some sort of pitiful, pathetic, helpless weakling,

00:53:00.200 who's just drifting on the breeze, like a, like a falling leaf. Okay. Of those two, I would rather

00:53:08.340 you just blame me for everything in life. I'd rather you give me too much agency, ascribe too much power

00:53:14.340 than none at all, which is what I get in some of these comments. And I find it just, it's just like,

00:53:23.880 grow up. Let's grow up. Let's be adults about this. Uh, let, let, let's try to develop even like

00:53:29.540 the slightest insights into the nature of human relationships and human dynamics.

00:53:36.360 Um, which is, is, is sort of lacking. Finally, um, it says Matt's wrong about brushing off

00:53:45.020 incompatible. If a young man was apolitical and young and had married AOC and then started leaning

00:53:49.380 right as time went by, well, she kept going further left, if that's even possible. You can't brush off

00:53:55.280 incompatible as a non-issue, especially if it was time to start planning a family. What if Matt's wife

00:53:59.680 suddenly went all aboard the trans train and wanted the kids on board as well? He wouldn't brush that off

00:54:04.280 as incompatible and insist that the marriage go on. Okay. Two quick things. First, um, I know you're

00:54:10.480 using this as a hypothetical example, but there's actually an important point here. It is impossible

00:54:15.660 that my wife would jump aboard the trans train. It's impossible. I mean, I would sooner worry about

00:54:22.920 her turning into a werewolf than turning into a trans activist. Okay. Let me just, I'll put it that way.

00:54:28.840 Okay. So it's, if it's not impossible, it's, it's only possible in the same sense that it's

00:54:34.520 technically possible that someone could magically turn into a werewolf or a zombie or something. I

00:54:39.040 mean, it's, it's like you're in, you're in monster, uh, movie realm and, and it's, I mean,

00:54:47.700 another way of putting it is it's just as likely that I would turn in to a trans activist than my wife

00:54:54.120 would. And there's zero chance of that. As you know, I would rather be, I literally rather be

00:54:58.860 dead. So it's just not ever going to happen. Um, and the point is that if you exercise just the

00:55:05.660 smallest bit of discernment, it's not that difficult to find and marry somebody with values similar to

00:55:11.640 your own. Now, yes, people do change. No, um, things happen. People change, but in most cases,

00:55:19.420 in the vast majority of cases, people don't change that much. The problem with people normally is

00:55:25.600 goes the other way. It's like normal, normally people, if you take someone when they're for most

00:55:30.260 people, you take them and you look at them when they're 75 years old, they're not that different

00:55:34.640 from when they were 45 or 35. Uh, in fact, they should be more different than they are. So the

00:55:40.500 problem for most people is that they're not, they haven't changed enough. You know, it's not that

00:55:44.060 people change too much in most cases that they don't change like hardly at all. Um, and, and, uh,

00:55:53.260 uh, now I get exceptions, exceptions. I get that, but generally speaking, you're not going to have

00:55:59.560 these just, uh, radical transformations that occur. Um, so you can, you know, if it's important to you

00:56:08.880 and it should be that you don't marry a trans activist because you have nothing in common

00:56:15.260 with somebody like that, your values don't align, you're worried about what they would do to your

00:56:19.080 kids, you know, the ways that your kids would be, uh, affected by that. Well, it's really not

00:56:24.800 difficult to avoid marrying somebody like that, uh, in the first place. Now what's more, you know,

00:56:29.760 your, your second scenario is more, uh, I think more in line with, with reality in, in, in your,

00:56:35.320 or you're rather your first scenario, I suppose your first scenario is, uh, if I remember correctly,

00:56:41.080 it's like you take someone who's basically a couple that's basically apolitical kind of moderate,

00:56:45.400 you know, just not really politically disconnected, doesn't really care that much.

00:56:49.960 Then they get married and, and then they, you know, one of them starts drifting a little bit to

00:56:53.820 the right. The other starts drifting a little bit to the left. Yeah. That sort of thing can happen,

00:56:57.500 but that's not a major transformational change. It's just kind of drifting here, drifting there.

00:57:03.460 You know, the gradual sort of much more subtle changes that happen and are much more real to

00:57:08.500 true to true to life. Um, and if that happens, does that mean that you get divorced? No.

00:57:16.620 Um, does that make you incompatible? Like you can't even be in the same house. You can't possibly

00:57:20.500 figure out a way to be married. Of course it doesn't mean that. Uh, what, what it probably means

00:57:27.040 in that case, the best solution is to just not make politics a part of your marriage, which in this

00:57:32.540 scenario, politics were never really a part of your life to begin with. So don't make it a part

00:57:36.580 of your marriage. It doesn't have to be. There's no reason why it has to be. Uh, most of the time

00:57:41.400 it isn't naturally anyway. Like I don't sit around talking politics with my wife most of the time,

00:57:46.580 a little bit we do, but it's not, uh, it's, it's, it's not a major focal point. I can't imagine

00:57:51.620 having a marriage where it's a major, major focal point. Um, but it does not become a reason for

00:57:57.280 divorce. Are you struggling with back taxes or unfiled returns this year? The IRS is escalating

00:59:52.400 So today we have another wonderful opportunity to correct some very bad relationship advice from

00:59:56.500 the internet. This time it comes from a viral video with over 12 million views on Twitter and

01:00:00.480 who knows how many on other platforms, which features a young woman explaining the math behind

01:00:05.960 what she has dubbed breakup-ology. Now many comments, mostly from women, have hailed this

01:00:11.780 as a brilliant analysis of relationship dynamics. They say that there is a lot of wisdom and insight

01:00:16.860 into, you know, in this video, a lot we can glean from it. And they are, of course, wrong about that,

01:00:23.560 and I'll explain why. But first, here's the video.

01:00:26.760 If you're a boy who has ever been dumped by your girlfriend for seemingly no apparent reason,

01:00:31.600 and you're looking for answers, this is what happened. Okay, this is you guys. You guys are

01:00:36.680 in a happy relationship. And now all of a sudden, you have one simple, fixable problem. For this

01:00:44.160 example, we're going to use no good morning texts. And your girlfriend who loves you, she's really

01:00:47.660 happy with you. She comes to you and she tells you, she's like, hey, do you think we could start

01:00:51.840 doing good morning texts? Like, it'd mean a lot to me if you text me good morning. So you, her loving

01:00:55.740 boyfriend, agree to give her good morning texts. But something happened, and for whatever reason,

01:01:00.360 you stopped giving her good morning texts. So now we have a bigger problem. She now thinks that

01:01:06.420 you don't care enough about her to send her good morning texts, even though she asked. But she's

01:01:11.480 going to be like, you know what, this is still kind of a small problem. I'm just going to remind him.

01:01:16.560 She reminds you, you're like, oh my gosh, that's right. I did agree to that. Okay, I will text you

01:01:20.980 good morning. Unfortunately, though, you didn't follow through again. Now we have confirmed that you do

01:01:26.200 not care enough to text her good morning, even though this is a simple fixable problem. This is

01:01:31.220 now a big problem. So now your girlfriend, who has never picked fights before in her life, starts

01:01:36.180 picking a bunch of little fights about all these different things because she believes that you do

01:01:41.020 not care enough. Through all of these picking fights with you, though, she still loves you and

01:01:46.440 likes you enough to want to be with you, even though you guys have all these little problems now.

01:01:50.580 Until one day these become unattractive to her. She's going to realize that all of these little

01:01:58.160 things that you do that remind her that you don't care about her enough are unattractive.

01:02:04.540 And so now the problem is not these things. It's not even that you don't care enough. It's not even

01:02:10.400 that she never got good morning texts. It's that she literally does not like you anymore. Does not

01:02:17.120 like you. Now, unfortunately, she has to break up with you. Okay, so this is all wrong. Now,

01:02:25.540 to be clear, this TikTok girl isn't wrong when she says that, you know, women sometimes operate this

01:02:31.240 way in a relationship. That is true. But she's wrong in the deeper implications, as we'll get

01:02:36.280 into. The first problem becomes apparent about three seconds into the video. I don't know anything

01:02:40.000 about this girl, but I'm going to assume, I think quite safely, that she has not been married for 10

01:02:43.740 plus years. Okay, I don't know anything. But I think we can assume that. I'm guessing she isn't

01:02:47.920 married at all. And as you know, if you listen to this show, that one of my one of my basic fundamental

01:02:52.560 rules when it comes to this sort of thing is that you simply cannot take any relationship advice at all

01:02:59.060 ever from anyone who has never had sustained meaningful success in a relationship. And sustained

01:03:06.420 meaningful success must mean, just to start with, that they have been married to one person and stayed

01:03:13.300 married for at least several years. Taking relationship advice from someone who has only

01:03:18.560 dated a succession of random people and never moved to the next stage with any of them, it's like taking

01:03:23.420 advice on wilderness survival from someone who has never even camped out in their backyard,

01:03:28.620 much less survived in the woods for a week. Okay, it's possible technically that

01:03:33.520 somebody might acquire survival knowledge just by reading books or whatever. But if I was dispensing

01:03:39.800 wilderness survival tips, and you asked me about my own experience in the area, and I responded

01:03:44.880 that, oh, well, you know, one time I slept on an air mattress in the basement of my in-law's house.

01:03:50.300 You're going to promptly ignore everything else I say on the subject. Of course you will.

01:03:54.020 In fact, it would be suicidal to take my advice with you into the wilderness. And the same goes for

01:04:00.020 relationships. The only people who should ever be giving advice about romantic relationships are

01:04:04.220 those who are married, have been married for several years, and preferably have kids. Because

01:04:11.200 that means that those of us in that camp have successfully moved a relationship from first

01:04:18.480 introduction to dating, to engagement, to marriage, to family life. And we've been tested along the way,

01:04:25.920 and we've endured, and we've gained experience and insight that might be useful. It doesn't mean

01:04:32.540 we're right. We could still be wrong, obviously. And of course, someone who's been married for eight

01:04:36.440 years might be divorced by next week. Like, we all understand that. But so it's not that all married

01:04:44.020 people have great relationship wisdom. It's just that only married people have great relationship

01:04:50.140 wisdom. So if you're going to hear great relationship advice from anyone, they're going to be married.

01:04:55.920 Which doesn't mean that all of them have that advice. But that's the only category where you're

01:05:03.280 going to get the good advice from. Now, some 22-year-old whose longest relationship was six

01:05:11.180 and a half months just has nothing interesting or useful to offer here. It's like you don't know

01:05:17.100 anything. You haven't done anything. You've never demonstrated any ability to have any form of

01:05:25.500 success in this world. So why would you think that you're in a position to give anyone advice about

01:05:32.080 it? Now, since we have that established, we'll move to the video. Okay, she describes a scenario where

01:05:39.100 a woman decides that she wants something from her boyfriend, good morning texts in this case,

01:05:44.840 and she doesn't get it consistently enough. And so she starts inventing other problems and

01:05:48.520 complaining about those until she decides one day that her boyfriend's failure to comply has made

01:05:52.540 him unattractive. And she breaks up with him only to, she doesn't say this part, but invariably,

01:05:57.360 you know, this girl moves on to the next guy and repeats the process again and again and again,

01:06:01.760 et cetera, and so forth, onto infinity. Again, you know, she's correct that some women, certainly not

01:06:05.840 all, do function this way. But what she doesn't mention and doesn't seem to realize, presumably

01:06:10.440 because she is this kind of woman herself, is that what she has described here is incredibly toxic,

01:06:16.160 narcissistic, shallow behavior. And the girlfriend in this scenario is just wrong. So if you're a woman

01:06:24.200 who operates this way and you look at that video and say, yeah, that resonates, you're wrong. You

01:06:30.680 need to not be this way. So if you look at that chart and that's you, it shouldn't be you. Stop

01:06:36.880 doing that. Stop being like that. You're being wrong is what you're being. The only mistake the

01:06:42.260 boyfriend made was in not pulling the plug and breaking up with her much earlier. So let's go

01:06:46.800 through the red flags that this hypothetical woman is waving around here. Red flag number one,

01:06:51.580 she gave her boyfriend an assignment. Okay. Now asking him to do good morning texts, as silly as that

01:06:57.840 might be, is not wrong in and of itself. She's allowed to want things in the relationship, even

01:07:01.540 silly things. It's true that, you know, she wants to feel loved and valued and she should feel that

01:07:06.880 way just as he should. But in this scenario, she asks for good morning texts. She gets them.

01:07:13.260 And it's fine. And then life intervenes as it does. The guy has a few mornings where he forgets to send

01:07:17.700 a text and she gets mad. Okay. And he starts doing the text again. And then after a while,

01:07:22.360 he misses a few days and she gets mad again. What we see here is that this is not about the texts

01:07:27.520 and it's not about feeling loved or valued. Cause at this point, like you're just berating him and

01:07:32.400 harassing him and nagging him for this little thing that you want. It's not about if he does it,

01:07:38.700 it's at this point, he's only doing it to shut you up. It's not, you're not, it doesn't show that

01:07:43.440 you're loved. He's just complying. So when you're demanding this rather meaningless ritual and have

01:07:50.160 no tolerance for a lack of compliance, what you're really looking for is not love, but obedience.

01:07:55.980 Subordination is what you're looking for. Now it's easy to see this. If you think that I'm being a

01:08:01.680 little harsh about it, it's easy to see this. If you just reverse the roles, that's all you got to

01:08:06.740 do. If this was a man drawing up a complicated graph, explaining why he gets angry when he doesn't

01:08:12.760 receive a good morning text on schedule every morning from his girlfriend, everybody, and

01:08:17.900 especially every woman celebrating this video without exception would agree that that man is

01:08:22.500 toxic, manipulative, overbearing, and insecure and probably abusive. Now it's true of course that

01:08:28.580 men and women are different. And so this reverse the roles thing doesn't work in every case, but

01:08:32.200 manipulativeness and narcissism are bad no matter which sex is engaging in it.

01:08:39.760 Red flag number two, the woman starts picking other petty fights just as a way of venting her

01:08:44.860 frustration over this other thing, which is also petty. This is called being a selfish,

01:08:50.140 immature, incredibly unpleasant person. It's just not okay. So again, if you're a woman and you say,

01:08:55.080 oh yeah, I do that when I'm upset, you shouldn't do that. You're wrong for doing that. You are just

01:08:59.040 wrong. It's inexcusable to do that. Starting fights on purpose intentionally because you're upset

01:09:04.680 about something else is a very bad thing to do. It's very immature, it's childish, and you should not

01:09:09.200 do that. And starting the fights constantly, not just once, but constantly. And if you're doing that,

01:09:17.340 the problem is you every time, period. If you are starting a fight on purpose, you are automatically

01:09:26.140 wrong about the substance of the fight. You're the bad guy in the situation, especially in this case,

01:09:34.840 as one of the fights on the graph is, and I quote, didn't remember her dog's birthday.

01:09:41.040 Now, I hope I don't need to tell you this, men, but if you're dating a woman who expects you to

01:09:44.060 remember the birthday of any non-human creature, you need to break up with her immediately. Don't

01:09:49.600 even wait till this podcast is over. I want you to pause it right now. Call her and just say,

01:09:53.280 I break up and then hang up and then move on with your life and finish the podcast. Okay.

01:09:59.200 Red flag number three, this woman decides that she doesn't like her boyfriend anymore because of his

01:10:03.720 alleged failures in a bunch of areas that mean almost nothing objectively. This woman who loved

01:10:09.080 her boyfriend can apparently have that love extinguished by a lack of texting and the fact

01:10:14.100 that he forgot to put her dog's birthday into his Google calendar. Well, what exactly does the word

01:10:18.300 love mean if this is the sort of thing that can destroy it? In what sense did she ever love her

01:10:22.520 boyfriend? It's not a rhetorical question, by the way. I'd love to hear this girl explain how this

01:10:27.160 woman in this scenario loved her boyfriend. What do you mean he loved her? She loved him. In what way?

01:10:32.000 What does that mean? Because I would say that if your love hinges on text messages,

01:10:36.760 then your love doesn't exist and never did. Which brings us to red flag number four. Finally,

01:10:42.760 you notice the thing that is never mentioned anywhere in this whole breakupology equation.

01:10:48.860 We never hear what the woman is actively doing to maintain the relationship with the man.

01:10:53.600 demanding that the guy do things for you doesn't count as you making an effort in the relationship.

01:11:02.900 So if you're listing all the things that you're doing to make an effort and they're all just,

01:11:06.040 I asked you to do this, I asked you to do that, I asked you, you're not doing anything. You're asking

01:11:09.740 him to do everything while you do nothing. What are you doing? What requests of his are you fulfilling?

01:11:15.720 How would you react if he made a request like that? Would you be insulted by it? Just in principle?

01:11:23.880 Oh, you want me to do this thing that I find irrelevant and you want me to do it every day?

01:11:27.400 I'm not doing that. Is that how you would react? How are you making him feel loved and valued?

01:11:34.080 Have you even thought about that? Do you feel any responsibility to be as attentive to him as you

01:11:38.720 expect him to be to you? This is a good general rule. If you are reviewing all the problems in your

01:11:43.500 relationship, if you're listing them out on paper, let's say, and every single problem, if you're a

01:11:50.260 woman and you're doing this, and every single problem starts with he, he did this, he didn't do

01:11:56.980 that, that's a pretty solid indication that the problem is not him. It's you. You haven't even

01:12:03.760 considered your own role. You haven't even attempted to reflect on your own failures at all. And that's

01:12:10.980 why you're really breaking up. It's not the text. It's not the dog's birthday. It's you. That's it.

01:12:18.980 And that is why this breakupology formula is today canceled. That'll do it for the show today.

01:12:26.140 Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Godspeed.

01:12:28.860 Have a great day.

01:12:32.880 Bye.
